\"Frontage\"<\/a>\u00a0Privately Owned<\/em><\/p>\n

Though Manderston House looks Georgian, it was built in 1901-1906 as a remodelling of an earlier house on the site.\u00a0 The north front was completely renewed, a new bachelor’s wing added and other parts converted. The architect was told that the cost ‘simply didn’t matter’.\u00a0 The interior designs are inspired by Robert Adams’ work at Kedleston.\u00a0 Downstairs a number of elegantly furnished rooms are on show, including the outer hall, dining room, hall, library, ball-room, drawing room and various ante-rooms.\u00a0 The main staircase has silver-plated brass banisters which required a lot of polishing – now done by volunteers.<\/p>\n

The upstairs rooms were closed on my visit, but the basement, which is almost unchanged, was on view.\u00a0 The housekeeper’s room, servant’s hall, manservant’s bedroom, kitchen and scullery were all finished to an unusually high standard. The kitchen has an island cooker with hidden under-floor flue.<\/p>\n

The house was filmed for the TV series ‘The Edwardian House’ aka ‘The Manor House’ broadcast by Channel 4 in 2004.<\/p>\n

Outside, a disused service wing can be seen attached to the house, screened by trees.\u00a0 Further away are the impressive Stables, and a marble diary with tower and staff housing (not seen).\u00a0 There are also various formal and informal gardens and a boathouse (not seen).<\/p>\n
